just curious with all this talk about gifts.... over the years, considering all gifts bestowed, not just the anniversary ones, which has been your favorite? thought about this for a bit and honestly, I'm having a hard time decidingthe teleport tiles are right up there, but you remember those trees with the little white ball thingies on them, like spider trees? I'm a sucker for those, pick them up any time I can

Official gifts? I love the crystal and corrupted crystal portals, the mailbox that allows me to give gifts when the recipients aren't around to try to pay me for them , the ethys, the commodity deed box.These I use pretty much daily.
But the gifts I love most are my last year's birthday presents and the party the givers threw for me. They are a constant reminder, not that I need one, of what a darn great team I have around me.

Mailbox is probably the best. Simply because its so incredibly handy for exchanging items between players who don't play at the same time. But I think I was most jazzed over the potted plants in like 99 or whatever. They were really great deco back then.

The Polar Bear. Also have to take in the time the ride came out. No greater award given that didn't make a veteran player stand out.

For the 15th used by 15 year vets. Need Flaming Thigh Boots. Wearing it looks like your feet are on fire. Random 5 stat increase at log in that gets cleared at server refresh. When character runs leaves flame trail like the Fire Steeds used to.

Breaking News: " Liches east of Yew claiming latest foot race starts grass fires that grew uncheck to burn their woods, leaving them homeless. Ash from the devastation used to make potions making the undead immune to slayer weapons during hours of darkness. Wristwatch selling prices go through the roof."

Ethys we the greatest gift for me, I had to endure a year of jealousy before getting my hands on one of those fuzzy Bar-stewards. The relief of not having to run around on foot due to my pet being eaten by a Litch was amazing. I have enjoyed the updates to this section of the vet rewards and have collected most of them, including my latest, the Hyru.

After Ethys it has to be tele tiles, or shard shields, not that I am old enough for the latter, just yet, but it gives me something to look forward too. As far an none vet rewards go, I think the compassion dyes were nice, but by far the best none vet gift has to be the mannequins.

i dont like the fact that with vet rewards if you dont have a 15year account youll never get a new reward ,im 2 years behind and it sorta sucks ,cant imagine some one starting new or even 5year account, should go by points ,anyone can use if they can buy it,and old rewards should be able to be traded back in even if they are only worth 1/2 the points they cost.......but anyways best vet reward would be teleport tiles,best gift in game i would say transfer tokens(wish theyd give these out again)
